Hanoi has hundreds of villas built before 1954 and they are divided into several groups. Group 1 includes the villas for strict conservation; Group 2 includes villas for basic conservation; and the third group includes villas that can be dismantled. The collapsed villa at No. 107 Tran Hung Dao belongs to group 2.
Meanwhile, HCM City has over 100 big water fountains and tens of villas built in the French colonial period or the Vietnam War. Most of them have severely deteriorated, threatening the life of surrounding residents.
One of the water fountains that must be dismantled immediately is the one on To Ky Road, District 12. Local residents said that they had seen big pieces of concrete fall from the fountain.
Many water fountains on the roads of Le Dai Hanh (District 11), Vo Van Kiet (District 5), Ho Van Hue (Phu Nhuan) … are also in very poor condition.
There are also many old French colonial villas in the city that need urgent repair.
